Losing muscles was the one thing about HRT I didn't like. Just got back from the gym though. I won't stop until my ass claps register on the Richter scale.
I was too. Luckily I was naturally strong for a guy, so my base layer of muscle ended up being strong for a woman.
It just sucks to be used to your body feeling a certain way and then losing that. I was used to being able to carry two 50lb suitcases up 30 stairs without working out.
I didn't really mind that much but the chronic pain made it way worse =) I would not have let 15 year old me make decisions about my muscle mass, lmao. Even as a skinny kid I was wiry, was rad...

I was stupid enough to let all of my upper body atrophy. Regret.
